History
About Volkswagen Arena
The Volkswagen Arena opened on 13 December 2002, replacing the older VfL Stadion am Elsterweg as VfL Wolfsburg's home ground. The 30,000-capacity stadium was designed by Düsseldorf-based HPP Architects and was built on land adjacent to the Volkswagen global headquarters and the Autostadt theme park, reflecting the club's longstanding ownership and financial backing by Volkswagen AG. The first competitive fixture, against Hertha BSC, finished 2-2. The smaller AOK Stadion next door (capacity 5,200) opened in 2015 as the dedicated home of the VfL Wolfsburg women's team, who are among the most successful clubs in European women's football; the largest UEFA Women's Champions League ties are sometimes moved to the Volkswagen Arena itself.
